Patient's question:
Neonatal bilirubin encephalopathy, neonatal bilirubin encephalopathy, bilirubin was originally 210, now 170. Transcutaneous measurement is 7. Is it still necessary to be hospitalized?? It is already one month old, and it has been hospitalized for a week.Doctor's answer:
Hello, it's a pleasure to help you with your question: Neonatal jaundice lasting more than half a month is not normal, with a slightly elevated bilirubin level of 12, but it's not very serious. If the baby is breastfed, it could be breast milk jaundice. As long as breastfeeding is stopped for three days, the jaundice will subside. It's important to note that the diagnosis of bilirubin encephalopathy can lead to irreversible brain damage, which is more common in pathological jaundice and requires continued treatment.
